True classics stand the test of time and the Vermeer 604R Classic baler was designed with the customer in mind. With minimal setup, low horsepower requirements, user-friendly controls and the option to bale with netwrap or twine, the 604R Classic baler is an ideal fit for small to midsize operations who have affordability in mind.
The new AtlasTM control system and netwrap system provide operators with user-friendly controls to achieve the consistent, square-shouldered bales that we all know and love
A new hydraulic density system allows operators to change bale density (via the AtlasTM control system) based on crop type, moisture levels and bale weight preferences right from the cab.
The Vermeer 604R Classic baler was designed for the customer. A customer who has affordability in mind but still wants to put up quality, 6 x 4 bales.
Put up hay like never before with this new class of 6 x 4 balers.
Low horsepower requirements allow operators to hook up the baler to more tractors.
